    Biden has said it out loud for nearly 40 years, “If there were not an Israel, we’d have to invent one.”

    It’s power projection in a traditionally less than friendly region. They might not like what they do, they might regret that they let them be an independent government, but they won’t do anything of real substance. Just ask the USS Liberty vets.

      I’ve seen some USS liberty stuff. Pretty crazy that they even let those dudes live to tell the tale.
